ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Does Armor negate damage from it?

As the talent does not project a weapon attack, but rather flat physical damage, armor will not help against Throw Boulder. Only physical resist will.

And.... forge giant rare with that skill killed me.
270 dmg and he threw it every 3 turn lol.
Dunno how I suppose to kill it as doombringer.

Same as any ranged character, you go out of sight from him and let the dumb ai come for you

Lolno, he wasn't dumb, he never approached me, threw magic instead, he had Wildfire and such.
Also, it was during quest "I have a feeling..." so there wasn't many corners.

If there's no corners then HP gear, damage shields, kinetic torques, gap closers, disables (stun, daze, etc)... 3 turns isn't as bad as other things.
Damage is fine, 270 is not high at all, it's really not that hard to deal with it.

What quest is that? I don't remember.

Is that the "I started in hell" specific quest from Doomelves etc?

It's when they tracked you and abduct you again.

About gap closers - I had only MI and Rush.
About torque - I thought it is useless compared to trinket that add armor.
Anyway, I shredded it to 2 K hp in 4-5 attack-retreat tries, but then it killed my char.

Find a way to stun them and their damage reduces by 50%. Daze by 40%. Combined that's 70%.

It wasn't possible.

Can you list another skills that act like Throwing Boulder in terms of it unafected by armor?

For example Meteorite Strike right? Its part of physical damage.

So what's better for reducing damage from multi-hued wyrm - it is a breath with physical damage?

Take any random skill. Does it say "xxx% damage" and implies it requires a weapon? If yes, that part is affected by armor. If a part of a skill says "xxx damage" it isn't.

The element of the damage doesn't matter. Wyrm breath attacks do "fixed damage" that doesn't depend on the weapon used so it ignores armor. All other damage mitigation tools still work the same.

Thanks! Torques and phys resist %. I'm coming!
